instead we can look forward to rivers of QQ, from all those 'hardcore' players on pvp servers who normally cant get enough of ganking others and making their lives a misery, and are insulting to 'carebear' players. They will now be demanding they/the creatures are not pvp flagged whilst tameing lol.

Suck it up and remember, ganking is fun and skillfull, even when it happens to you. hahahahaha.

Hello, I'm from six months in the future, with an excerpted comment from someone just like you.

"I am sorry these pets are nothing to look forward to, sure they will be fun to try to tame but the reward is reused models of core hounds, phoenixes, and lava worms? How about some new spirit beasts or spiders, Blizzard?"

Ganking is SKILLFUL? Now, that is where it's MY turn to laugh. Any idiot can hit someone while they are doing something else. Please. Just because you have no ethic about when and where you attack someone DOES NOT make you a skillful player. LOL!

I live on a pvp server, I totally expect the pet-griefing to happen, I'm accustomed to it but it's got NOTHING to do with skill. I know there are immature pvp-nerds that have some sort of inner-narrative that tells them otherwise, that's fine. ;-)

@Dreyja

I may be wrong but when I read Sharlatan's comment, I sensed immense sarcasm. It seems more to me like he was taking a stab at the players who enjoy ganking.

I could be wrong, though. Just my two cents.

@ jrockzmyv382 - ahh you may be right. I apologize if I missed the sarcasm, it wouldn't be the first time, won't be the last. ;) When will a sarcasm font truly be developed? I think we need one, or at least "slow" people like myself do. XD

You asshole! Why didn't you warn us?...

I kinda agree with Xlo. While those new pet taming mechanics are sure interesting, far more challenging than any other pet introduced to the game, 2 copies of Gondria and 5 re-colored spiders are not something I really care about. Only pet I want from those is the Ban'thalos: it looks like a mix of Olm the Wise with an Emerald Skytalon, plus the added sick wing effects.
